Seeing that I have stacks of these nice deli cups, I put them to work. Chuck the snake man taught me this trick: line the bottom with paper towels, moisten. Put the eggs in(most clutches will fit in the 16oz cup)covered by another moist paper towel then the lid goes on. There are air holes in the deli, dont forget this. Now for heat I simply use the same thing I use for the deli cups that my hatchlings are raised in...rope light. I have a line of cups on top of my cages with last years small hatchlings....and now a line of egg cups.
Bringing out the adults and breeding them early I have noticed cuts down on the really HOT days so no kinking to worry about. If any of the eggs start to go bad the discoloration is very noticable on white paper towels. I have had a little luck battling rotten eggs with treatment with antifungal powder and a q tip with hydrogen peroxide. I had eggs hatch that no one could have figured would still be viable.....It works for me.Jeff
